Overall this assignment will help you to synthesize the technology information of this course with your reading instruction. Ultimately, you will be creating a plan to continue integrating technology in your classroom even at the completion of this course. In addition to using information you learned in class, you will also find three additional journal articles that should be an extension of the information of the classroom. The Assignments:
Think about how you will be able to use technology to support your instruction in the future. Specifically, think about a unit of instruction that could be enhanced for your students.
Will the Internet be able to provide more resources than you have with traditional text?
Will different software applications make the instruction more engaging for students?
Will software be able to provide a bigger variety of assessment activities?
How will integrating technology make instruction better for you as a teacher?
What reading activities or strategies will you use – and are they the same or different from how you might have taught the unit without technology?
